The ultrasonic data processing method of the present disclosure may be described below in details. Referring to FIG. 2 shown an optional flowchart of the ultrasonic data processing method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method may include but not be limited to ultrasound volume imaging, ultrasound planar imaging, etc. This method applied to ultrasound device 10 may include the following detailed process.

Step 201: acquiring an ultrasound image by scanning the target object with the ultrasound probe.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target object involved may be a human or an animal. The ultrasound probe may scan tissues and organs of the human or animal to acquire an ultrasound image of the tissues and organs of the human or animal. For example, when the target object is a person, one or more tissues and organs of the person may be scanned by the ultrasound probe to obtain one or more ultrasound images that correspond to the one or more tissues and organs, thereby performing diagnostic analysis based on the obtained ultrasound images. In practice, the ultrasound images may be a two-dimensional ultrasound image, a three-dimensional ultrasound image, and so on.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the transmitting/receiving sequence controller 102 may be used to control the ultrasound probe 100 to transmit ultrasonic waves to the target object through the transmitting/receiving switch 101, control the ultrasound probe 100 to receive the ultrasonic echoes returned from the target object to acquire ultrasonic echo signals/data, and determine the ultrasound images of the target object based on the ultrasonic echo signals/data.

Step 202: acquiring a scanning parameter information of the ultrasound probe.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the scanning parameter information may represent the system parameters involved in the use of the ultrasound device, including but not limited to: probe type, probe serial number, scan mode, scan position, scan time, etc. The probe type, such as a linear array probe or a convex array probe, may be acquired directly by the ultrasound probe of the ultrasound device. Certainly, the probe type may be acquired by an input instruction inputted by a user through an interface. Similarly, the scan mode, the scan position and so on may be acquired by the ultrasound device in the aforesaid ways. For example, the scan mode and the scan position may need to be set on the device before ultrasound imaging, that is, information including the scan mode and the scan position may be directly acquired by the ultrasound device via the user's input. The scan mode may be various imaging modes, such as grayscale (B) scan mode, color-flow (C) scan mode, Doppler (D) scan mode. Of course, the scan mode may be other scan modes other than B-scan mode, C-scan mode, and D-scan mode, such as elasticity scan mode, etc., which are not specifically limited here. Moreover, the D-scan mode may be, for example, any one of spectral Doppler scan mode, pulse Doppler scan mode and continuous wave Doppler scan mode, which may not be specifically limited herein. The scan position may be a position corresponding to various tissues and organs of humans or animals. During scanning, the ultrasound device may automatically record relevant time information according to the start time and end time of the scan; of course the time information may also be acquired in other possible ways, which may not be specifically limited herein. Of course, the probe scanning information may also include other imaging parameters, such as imaging range, imaging frequency, imaging depth, imaging focus, image gain, dynamic range, sampling gate, wall filtering and so on. Different scan modes may correspond to different imaging parameters. For example, in the B-scan mode, the imaging parameter information may correspondingly be imaging depth, imaging focus, imaging frequency, dynamic range, magnification, image gain and other parameters. In the C-scan mode, the imaging parameters may be imaging focus, the scale of velocity, imaging frequency, wall filtering, image gain, etc. In the pulse Doppler mode, the imaging parameters may be sampling gate, the scale of velocity, imaging frequency, wall filtering, etc. Of course, the imaging parameters may also be other parameters, such as grayscale, brightness, contrast, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

In practice, when the scanning parameter information is the probe serial number, the probe serial number may be acquired by the ultrasound probe of the ultrasound device, that is, the probe serial number may be stored in a memory chip of the ultrasound probe, or the probe serial number may be fixed on a corresponding ultrasound probe in the manner of firmware; further, the probe serial number may be acquired by the ultrasound probe of the ultrasound device. Alternatively, the ultrasound device may receive an input instruction to the probe serial number, and obtain the probe serial number according to the input instruction, that is, the probe serial number may be acquired by human input via human-computer interaction. Alternatively, the ultrasound device may acquire the probe serial number directly from the local memory, that is, the ultrasound device may obtain the probe serial number before, and store it locally, so that it can be obtained directly locally.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of acquiring the scanning parameter information of the ultrasound probe scanning the target object may include monitoring the ultrasound probe; and reading the scanning parameter information when the ultrasound probe is activated. In a case of the ultrasound device including a plurality of ultrasound probes, by monitoring the plurality of ultrasound probes, when one ultrasound probe is activated, the ultrasound device can automatically start recording the scanning parameter information corresponding to the use of the ultrasound device so as to completely record the working process of the ultrasound device.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of acquiring the scanning parameter information of the ultrasound probe scanning the target object may include receiving a notification sent by the ultrasound probe, the notification being used to represent that the ultrasound probe is activated; and in response to the notification, receiving the scanning parameter information sent by the ultrasound probe. When the ultrasound device is equipped with a plurality of ultrasound probes, the ultrasound probe can, through a built-in communication component, the notification, send a notification which may carry the scanning parameter information of the current ultrasound probe.

Further, monitoring ultrasound probe to realize recording the scanning parameter information may be adopted as a main mode of the ultrasound device; and receiving the notification sent by the ultrasound probe to realize recording the scanning parameter information may be adopted as a standby mode of the ultrasound device. When the main mode fails, it can be switched to the standby mode according to a control instruction inputted via the human-computer interaction or a preset operational process, so that the working process of the ultrasound device can be recorded to prevent the failure of the mode from affecting the work of the ultrasound device.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the human-computer interaction may be implemented in the following manners:

connecting a mouse to the user interface of the ultrasound device 10 (shown in FIG. 1), and clicking a scan setting button with the mouse so that a scan setting instruction may be received by the processor 103 of the ultrasound device 10. Of course, the processor 103 in the ultrasound device 10 may also be triggered to receive the scan setting instruction in other ways, for example, a touch action like sliding, rotating, etc., or voice input control, which may not be specifically limited herein.

Step 203: acquiring an object information corresponding to the target object.

The object information may represent relevant information corresponding to the target object, including but not limited to: object information of the target object and object information of a scanner who scans the target object. The object information of the target object may include a patient's name, age, gender, occupation, contact details, medical history, etc. The object information of a scanner who scans the target object may be a doctor's name, rank, department, etc., which may be not specifically limited herein.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the object information may be acquired by the input by a doctor, or it may be acquired by calling related information stored in a local server or other cloud server by the ultrasound device.

It should be noted that steps 101-103 may be executed unlimited in order, and they may be parallel executed.

Step 204: establishing an association among the object information, the scanning parameter information and the ultrasound image.

By establishing an association among the object information, the scanning parameter information and the ultrasound image, during the process of information traceback, other related information may be traced according to at least one of the object information, the scanning parameter information and the ultrasound image.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, ultrasound detection may be performed on different tissues of the same patient with steps 201 to 204. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an optional display interface provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the figure, reference sign 61 may refer to detection of liver combined with ascites, reference sign 63 may refer to high-resolution renal blood flow detection, reference sign 65 may refer to detection of fetal aortic blood flow, and reference sign 67 may refer to detection of umbilical cord blood flow. With the display interface shown in FIG. 6, we may know the scanning parameter information of the ultrasound device currently being used for detecting, including information of the probe type, probe serial number and probe axial position. At the same time, object information may also be gotten, including name, patient Identification (ID, which may be at least one of the patient's ID card number, employee number and examination number), gender, examination date, shooting parts, disease information, and ultrasound images taken in the past examination included in the patient's examination history.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, after step 204, the ultrasonic data processing method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include:

Step 205: storing the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image and the association.

By storing the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image, and the association, relevant information can be inquired in time during the process of information traceback.

In this respect, the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image, and the association may be stored in local storage, or local server storage, or other cloud server storage, which is not specifically limited herein. After the above-mentioned related information is stored, the storage identifier thereof may be obtained, which represents the storage state and storage location of the above-mentioned related information.

In one possible implementation: the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image, and the association may be sent to the server; the storage identifier sent by the server and configured for characterizing the storage state and storage location of the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image and the association in the server may be received. It can be seen that after the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image, and the association are established, the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image, and the association may be sent to a corresponding local server to be stored; thus the data of a plurality of ultrasound devices may be centrally stored and backed up with the local server. Further, the server may also be a cloud server; in this respect, by means of storing the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image, and the association established by the ultrasound device in a corresponding cloud server, the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image, and the association may be stored remotely, and the equipment provider of the ultrasound device, meanwhile, may also acquire the use status of the ultrasound device, and replace and adjust the ultrasound device in time.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, it may further include receiving a first display instruction for the ultrasound image, and displaying the ultrasound image according to the first display instruction; or, receiving a second display instruction for the object information, and displaying the object information according to the second display instruction; or, receiving a third display instruction for the scanning parameter information, and displaying the scanning parameter information according to the third display instruction.

It can be seen that, different display instructions generated by human-computer interaction can output different information corresponding to the display instructions via the ultrasound device, so that the information to be outputted may be selected by a user according to different service environment.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of an optional display interface provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, by means of steps 201-205, different tissues of different patients may be performed with ultrasound detection and the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image and the association may be stored. As shown in FIG. 7, it may include patient ID; ultrasound device information including device media access control address (MAC) and detecting position; and storage identifier including storage location and storage state. With the shown storage identifier, the storage location of a corresponding information may be determined as: local storage, or local server storage, or other cloud server storage. The storage state may include: success and failure; further, when the storage state is failure, an alarm message may be triggered or a secondary storage and backup may be automatically activated.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, after step 205, the ultrasonic data processing method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include:

Step 206: displaying at least one of the object information, the scanning parameter information, and the ultrasound image.

In practice, different display instructions generated by human-computer interaction may display at least one of the object information, the scanning parameter information, and the ultrasound image via the ultrasound device. By the displayed object information, the scanning parameter information, and the ultrasound image, the user can clearly know that the ultrasound image is produced by the ultrasound device scanning on which target object at what time, and that the corresponding scanning parameters during scanning to realize the traceability of the scan.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of displaying the object information, the scanning parameter information and the ultrasound image may include:

outputting at least one of the object information, the scanning parameter information, and the ultrasound image according to at least one of a text, a graphic and a voice.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when receiving a human-machine interactive operating instruction to display the object information, the scanning parameter information and the ultrasound image, the corresponding information to be displayed currently can be displayed via the display 104 shown in FIG. 1; or, the object information and the scanning parameter information may be displayed by correspondingly specific graphic. The text or graphic may have a prompting function; for example, the text or graphic displayed on the screen may be in a highlighted state, to prompt the user to check, which is convenient for beginners to use. In particular, graphic elements may have dynamic effects, and thus have a high degree of recognition.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when receiving a human-computer interactive operating instruction to display the object information, the scanning parameter information and the ultrasound image, a speaker (not shown in the figure) of the ultrasound device shown in FIG. 1 may synchronously output the object information and the scanning parameter information corresponding to the displayed ultrasound image for the convenience of users.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of an optional display interface provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, by means of steps 201-206, the same part of a same patient may be performed with ultrasound detection in different chronological order, the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image and the association may be stored, and the current ultrasound image may be displayed. As shown in FIG. 8, the scan location is fetus's nose and lip, and the display content may include ultrasound device name, MAC address, patient ID, examination sequence number, scan parameters, examination time, doctor's signature, and probe serial number used for each test.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of an optional display interface provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, by means of steps 201-206, different parts of different patients may be performed with ultrasound detection in different chronological order, and the object information, the scanning parameter information, the ultrasound image and the association may be stored. As shown in FIG. 9, the ultrasound examinations of different patients A and B may be all displayed on the interface, and the display content may include ultrasound device name, MAC address, patient ID, ultrasound image number, scan parameters, shooting time, reference time, probe serial number and disinfection state corresponding to patient A, and

ultrasound device name, MAC address, patient ID, ultrasound image number, scan parameters, shooting time, reference time, probe serial number and disinfection state corresponding to patient B.

The ultrasound image number may be used to retrieve an associated ultrasound image.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, after step 206, the ultrasonic data processing method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include:

Step 207: acquiring a usage information of the ultrasound probe; and when the usage information meets a preset condition, displaying a warning message and marking an alarm for the ultrasound probe.

It can be seen that, the usage of each ultrasound probe can be detected when the probe of the ultrasound device is cross used, and a warning message may be sent out when the probe alarm parameter of the aggregate information for use of the ultrasound probe reaches an alarm threshold. For example, when the disease type of a target monitored by the ultrasound probe is contact-type cross-infection, a warning message may be displayed and an alarm may be marked for the ultrasound probe used. For another example, when the number of uses of the ultrasound probe is greater than a preset threshold, a warning message may be sent to prompt that the number of uses of the ultrasound probe has reached an upper limit, followed by disinfection or waste disposal, etc., which can be determined according to actual situation.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when an alarm marked for the used ultrasound probe is detected, a user can be prompted through the display screen of the ultrasound device to replace the ultrasound probe or perform disinfection treatment on the corresponding ultrasound probe.
